Basically, he sees Porsche as a good model for how he develops many variants, and he wants Aston to do something similar.
And in the news that will surely satisfy the enthusiastic, he wants a manual transmission model.
“We need a” manual, Hallmark said.
Aston Martin hasn't had a regular production manual since Vantage AMR 2019, and the company has built only 200 examples, it records Telegrafi.
But models like 911 GT3 and S/T prove there is a real market for manual transmissions.
Otherwise, EV is still on the line, although like many other automotive producers, Aston is changing previous electrification plans.
“We'll have the first electric battery vehicle in this decade, in the next five years, but instead of trying to produce as much as we can, we'll only make a”, the head of the brand said.
Aston will share the financial results of the year 2024 at the end of this month and Hallmark will deepen the way he wants to turn the company into a “high performance organisation”.
